Another fun fall engagement session!  Leanne and Mark talked me into Historic St. Charles and out of my usual comfort zone. I’m a city girl.  What can I say?! Yes I admit to rarely leaving the interior of the 270 loop. I’m not snotty – just lazy. When I lived in Houston years back I had to drive HOURS to get anywhere so I feel like I’ve paid my dues.  So I haven’t spent much time in St. Charles and when I have it has been wedding specific.  First engagement session there and I LOVE it!  We met up 7:00 AM to catch the first morning light.  It is so beautiful.  I almost never see it.  I really like to sleep.  I don’t know how all of you people with babies function without it.  And Leanne brought me a couple of fun little props to work with…as well as a doggie!  Good times had by all!  I treated myself to a pumpkin latte and a nap afterwards. Enjoy!

One of our first shots as the sun came up.

They practically had this nice little set up just for us to take some photos with hay bales and cornstalks!

It just wouldn't be one of my blog posts without some special focus on shoes.

See?! Special props! Although Leanne made me write on it and was worried I would mess it up for everyone.

More fun props!

Ha!

Followed immediately by stinkin' cute.

A few photos with puppy dog Suki! "Hey Mom and Dad - look at this big stick I found? Cool eh?!" Seriously the largest stick I've seen a dog run around with. Hilarious.

Perfect little family. Thanks for a fun session guys! Can't wait for the wedding!
